The Human Resource Management specialization provides students with fundamental managerial and leadership skills that will enable students to understand strategic and operational issues in managing human capital in organizations.

The Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) has identified the curriculum at Baldwin Wallace University as aligning with their professional guidelines and requirements. Our curriculum is approved by the Human Resource Certification Institute (HRCI).

The specialization is designed for the working adult. Students completing full-time undergraduate study may pursue the Human Resource Management M.B.A. (HRMBA) as a dual 3/2-degree program with completion of the undergraduate bachelor’s degree in business administration and the HRMBA concurrently in the fourth and fifth years of study.
